- If the pH is too high (6 or more), dilute 1 g of citric acid with 9 g of distilled water, add 2-3 drops to the cream, stir, and measure the pH again. The goal is to bring it to a pH of 5-5.5.
Selecting the Right Vegetable Oils
The choice of oils depends on your budget, accessibility, and your skin type:
- For mature and dry skin: sunflower seed oil, sesame oil, argan oil, wheat germ oil, avocado oil, shea butter.
